With Inspiration Maps, you can...

BUILD DIAGRAMS & OTHER GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS WITH EASE
Create concept maps, cause and effect diagrams, process flows, family trees and more! Getting started couldn’t be easier: Simply double tap a blank space on your canvas to create a new idea symbol. Start from scratch or from one of the many built-in templates in language arts, history, science or thinking & planning!

BRAINSTORM IDEAS
Harness your own creativity - there’s nothing like using Inspiration Maps’ quick-brainstorming tool RapidFire(R) to capture your ideas as fast as they come to you. Never lose track of a great idea again!

GET ORGANIZED
Simply drag and drop to organize and categorize concepts and ideas. Establish connections with links and connecting phrases. Structure is automatically generated for you when you use Arrange or when you view your diagram as an outline.

STRENGTHEN UNDERSTANDING & BUILD RETENTION
Use proven visual thinking and learning techniques to brainstorm ideas, explore and explain relationships, and integrate new knowledge with what you already know. Inspiration Maps encourages deeper, more critical thinking and that improves creativity, comprehension and retention.

WRITE, TAKE NOTES & PLAN

What’s New in Inspiration Maps Version 2:

iPHONE ACCESS: Inspiration Maps is now a universal app that you can use on both your iPad and your iPhone! Buy it once and get it on both devices (associated with the same Apple ID).

LASSO SELECTION: We’ve done away with that pesky multi-selection button! Now you can lasso multiple objects by simply pressing your finger on the canvas for a second then dragging it across your diagram.

BUTTONS HAVE MOVED: The Send button is now located under the Wrench menu and the Rapidfire brainstorming button is now right at your fingertips - located above your keyboard while you type.

DROPBOX CHANGES: Document management just got easier! The Send to Dropbox function now replaces the previous version of a document, instead of making a new copy.
